Open Letter To Science Teachers, Clifford G. Mccollum

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Our responsibilities as science educators have never been greater than they are today." I know personally that such a statement has been made regularly since the 1930s, and I suspect it was commonplace some before that. These responsibilities have had various emphases identified as the reason for their being. The emphases have included such applications as those made to industry, engineering, medicine, warfare, and space exploration.

Differences In Campus Attitudes, Academic Achievement And Socio-Economic Background Between Student Leaders, The Students For A Democratic Society And The Student Body At-Large At The University Of Northern Iowa, Oral M. Custer Jr.

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The purpose of this study was to identify similarities and differences between three groups of students, the Student Senate, the Youth for a Better Society (Students for a Democratic Society when the study was initiated), and a sample of students representative of the student body at-large at the University of Northern Iowa. These groups were objectively and subjectively evaluated to identify any similarities and differences in (1) their attitudes toward the University, (2) their academic achievement and aptitude, and (3) their socio-economic background. Objective measures of these variables included the College and University Environment Scales (CUES), cumulative grade point averages, …

A Comparative Study Of Three Different Approaches To Beginning Reading Comprehension: Ita, Programmed Reader, And Basal Reader, Helen Ferrier Ristau

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The purposes of this study were to compare the effectiveness of three specific approaches to beginning reading for teaching reading comprehension in the schools of a midwestern community: ITA, Programmed Reader, and Basal Reader. The Reading: Stories or reading comprehension scores on the Metropolitan Achievement Tests were used to compare: (1) the overall effectiveness of teaching reading comprehension under the three approaches, and (2) the effectiveness of the three approaches for particular types of learners. The data was analyzed according to the following factors: sex, M.A., socioeconomic status, and maturity level to determine which approach is best for any of …

A Comparison Of Results Of Two Methods Of Teaching Reading In The First Grade, Melvin Wayne Thurston

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

An examination of the grade-equivalent scores attained in vocabulary and reading comprehension by third-grade pupils at Hudson Community School on the Iowa Test of Basic Skills over the preceding four-year period revealed that many of the pupils were seriously retarded in reading. During this period a total of 210 third-grade pupils were tested. Thirty-one per cent of these pupils scored one or more years below the norm for Iowa third-grade pupils in vocabulary, and the same level of retardation was true in reading comprehension for twenty-seven per cent of these pupils.

Most of these pupils had been taught beginning reading …

The Field Of Speech, Douglas Ehninger

Iowa Journal of Communication

Teachers of speech, even more perhaps than teachers in other field, occasionally need to stop and take stock. What, after all, is this subject or discipline that we profess? On what basis does its claim to independence rest? What is the proper business of a department of speech? What, ideally, should the study of speech entail? What areas of investigation and research are our special property? In what ways does training in speech contribute to a liberal education?

A Study Of Gesture In Elocution And Oral Interpretation During The Years 1870 To 1930 In The United States, Faith Alene Engelkes

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The purpose of this thesis was to make an historical study examining a selected list of textbooks dealing with the subject of gesture in elocution, expression, or oral interpretation between the years 1870 and 1930 in the United States. A preliminary chapter reviewed the backgrounds of elocution in the United States before 1870. The succeeding chapters reviewed the textbooks chosen for study for each twenty-year period to gain an insight into each author's philosophy of teaching gesture in delivery. Each textbook contained definitions of the various terms involved, which definitions also served to disclose the author's attitude toward the teaching …

A Naturalist At Large: Skin-In, Skin-Out, Marston Bates

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Each semester I arrange a seminar of a dozen or so students who meet one evening a week in the living room of the house. I try to select students with different interests, from different departments of the university, with the idea of getting to know a small but varied sample of the student body. We decide on some topic for discussion during the semester, but whatever the official topic, two subjects - education and sex - always come up, and always generate heated arguments.
